You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

I had a Dropbox account linked with my previous job email, that I need to recover.
I had a Dropbox account linked with my previous job email. I have left the job and so can’t access the Dropbox now. How can I get access to it as I had a lot of personal stuff saved in it.
If it was a personal email it is certainly gone - they are wiped after 12 months almost to the day. Warning emails about this start about 90 days before deletion 😞

Dropbox StaffHey there, User1237, let's jump right into this!
Do you get any specific errors when trying to access your Dropbox account, or do you face some trouble accessing the 6-digit-security-code?
I'm asking that, because even if you don't have access to the email address, you should still be able to use your credentials, and access your Dropbox account. Provided of course, that you can remember them.
How long has it been since you logged into the account?
Let me know more!
Thanks Meghan. When I try to log in the code is sent to the email for which I do not have access. This is about 3.5years ago. I have not tried again now. I am not sure if I remember the password now…When I was checking around that time it looked like we couldn’t get it. I am relooking at it again in the hope I can get it back.

Hey User1237, if you last accessed your account about 3.5 years ago, then it's most likely deleted due to inactivity, I'm afraid.
That’s what I am worried…Anyway to confirm it? If by chance it is still there..
Thanks!
